Thanks in part to a hitless performance from Mets third baseman David Wright — yesterday’s most popular BTS selection — we’re down to 64 users tied for first place at 14 games. Congratulations to those who made flawless selections through the first two weeks of action. And for those who found themselves starting from scratch on at least one occasion — it’s a long season, so don’t give up!

And it is the toughest of the 3 games. No one has ever won in its 8 full years of existence.

MLB.com Survivor is pretty tough too. It took until the 7th season last year (There was 1 season with just Beat the Streak I believe. The Home Run Edition of Beat the Streak began in 2006, but someone wins that contest annually.) for someone to eclipse a 26-game win streak.

That was a magical 6 weeks, in which the entire leaderboard eclipsed the 26-game win mark and the leader hit 36 games!

I had a feeling the Boston hitters would beat up on the O’s today with Hendrickson on the mound. Although it looks like they did more damage against their bullpen rather than Hendrickson. I went with Kouzmanoff though, sucks it got PPD.

I’ve been playing this game for a few years now and with D-Wright and now Tejada this year it again is continuing to prove to me that this game is much more than strategy but luck has to bring you a very long way. Sometimes I don’t like taking the “sexy pick” because just because a guy as a great average AND hot at the plate like Tejada has been it leading up to today by no means does it mean he’s gonna get a hit. I don’t pick no-namers but I love the occasional times I choose a guy and he’s at the bottom or not even on the Most Selected list the next day
